Editorial Reviews
Review
"Jerry Knudson has put his heart and soul into this important work about the time of Jefferson viewed through the press. Not only does he dwell upon our great president and the friendly, and frequently virulent, little journals of the early 1800s, but he has given us the political story of the election controversies, the Louisiana Purchase, Hamilton and Burr, and the drifting into war with England. Jefferson has long been Knudson's passion, and that passion may be found on every page of this remarkable book."―Calder M. Pickett, Clyde Reed Emeritus Professor of Journalism, University of Kansas

How are ratings calculated?
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness.
